Paul is an international award-winning photographer who continues to expand his creativity. His work is featured in hotels and resorts, offices and private collections.

Paul first picked up a camera at 19 while completing a design course. This brief, but life-changing, introduction to photography realigned his view of the world and he has never looked back. Now, over 25 years later, he still gets excited at the prospect of going on location and discovering what awaits him through the lens.

“My greatest inspiration as a landscape photographer has been Ansel Adams. His stunning black white landscape photography caught my imagination and had me dreaming of capturing landscapes in far off places very early on in my career. While my work is very different to his I still refer to his books for inspiration. The other major influence has been that of my grandfather who taught me to paint as a young man. I learnt from him how to craft an image, to understand the nature of light and composition. His influence is still very much a part of me today.”

Because of this background Paul’s work has a painting like quality. Many pieces feature gentle light with soft tones and colours. Paul describes his work as painting with light.

It has been some time since Paul entered any awards, so after an absence of 14 years he felt it was time to return to the fray, in March 2011 he entered the Epson International Panorama Photography Awards where he picked up 5 Bronze Awards. Paul was pretty happy with the result.

Previously while a member of the AIPP (Australian Institute of professional Photography) Paul also received several awards including West Australian Wedding Photographer of the year 1995.

As awards go, like any industry they are subjective, but nail biting all the same. We’ll see what comes up next.

Paul's Career has included shooting everything from fashion and commercial, travel and tourism, weddings and portraits, as well as his other love, food and cuisine. In recent years paul has had the pleasure of shooting food and cuisine for magazines while shooting landscapes for his own collection the perfect double for me. These trips mean he eats very well.

Paul has now been shooting seriously as a landscape photographer for the past 10 years and opened his first gallery in York Western Australia in 2005. In late 2008 he moved to his new gallery in the Swan Valley.
